I’m trying not to worry but clearly not doing well at it. I’m around 14dpo today with my period due on Thursday/Friday. I had a boozy day planned on Sunday so thought I’d better test as we’re ttc and I don’t want to drink my body weight in alcohol if there’s a chance I could be pregnant. So I did a clear blue on what would be around 12dpo and could see a faint line- this is a pic of the test I did on Sunday but pic taken now. I did some cheapie strip ones and saw a faint line too, but husband and I said let’s wait until Saturday to test as AF is due Thursday/Friday. Well obviously I tested with the cheapie ones today, a few days after the first, and the lines weren’t any darker really. I don’t want to waste my cb tests so going to agonise over the cheapie tests not showing a darker line and now thinking it could be a chemical. I’ve had some cramping and lower back pain but not sure I’d expect symptoms this early as I didn’t with my first.
can the test on the pic just be a chemical pregnancy? I know it’s not a bfp yet.

That's a positive line for sure x

That's 100% a bfp, congratulations.
I'd take a clear blue again and compare if i were you. Hopefully it will reduce the anxiety a bit 😁

That's a very clear and decent positive. Why would it be a chemical? Looks like the boozy weekend isn't happening. Congratulations.

Looks positive. If you're worried about a false positive, I'd suggest a red dye test. Congats.

Hmm I’m not sure now. I had period cramps last night for about an hour and some pink blood. I’m sure when I started moving around today AF will show up.😭

Cramps and bleeding can both be normal in early pregnancy. I wouldn’t drink to be sure, and time will tell if AF arrives. Wishing you all the best.

I was going to test this weekend but after the pink spotting last night I did a CB digital this morning and it said pregnant 1-2 weeks. I did a normal test and it’s a faint line still. So far no more pink blood when I wipe so wonder whether last night could have been implantation? The cramping felt so my like AF was coming though.
I have bad nausea today and have been sick once in the night and once this morning but also have loose stools so thinking that could be a stomach bug and it’s a coincidence. I also have bad lower back ache but that could be from the sick bug maybe.
Do these symptoms sound like they could be pregnancy?

You’re pregnant! Congratulations! I’m not sure about the diarrhoea, as you say, may be a coincidence.

That looks like a good line for 12 dpo. I doubt if this is a chemical.
The small amount of blood is probably normal and so are the cramps.

Just to update in case anyone else is in this situation, I was expecting AF today and looks like it has come. I did a digital CB test yesterday which said pregnant 1-2 weeks so likely a MMC. I’ll be testing again at the weekend to confirm a negative test.

I'm so sorry. That's very sad.

HavinKittens · 11/05/2023 11:29

Oh I’m so sorry, I feel for you. Take care of yourself.

Sounds like a chemical not MMC.
